Code.org is a national nonprofit that believes that every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science, just like biology, chemistry or algebra.  The Code.org curriculum is the most popular in K-12 computer science, with courses for every grade band. It is used in more than 120 districts, including all 7 largest districts and by over 700,000 teachers. It’s free of charge, and the highest-rated by teachers.

“I was pretty nervous and worried that I would be embarrassed by my lack of knowledge. This training was amazing and not at all what I thought it would be like! The PD provided me with the opportunity and the time to explore coding as curriculum for my students.” 


SPRING 2021 PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Computer Science Fundamentals (CSF) is designed for K-5 elementary educators new to teaching computer science who want to explore how to begin teaching the CS Fundamentals curriculum. Join experienced Alaskan facilitators to get an intro to computer science, pedagogy, overviews of the online curriculum and teacher dashboard, as well as strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities — either in person or online!
ASDN will offer virtual CS Fundamentals (K-5) professional learning workshops each month throughout the year. NEXT SESSION IN APRIL

This class was my very first exposure to coding. I really appreciated how the class took something that seems like a big and scary study and presented it in very manageable steps. It is a program I would be excited to bring into my classroom. I am most excited that the curriculum is so clear. I feel like it will be very understandable by the students. The platform is very fun as well, so I have no doubt that there will be great student engagement.
